Beyond the coffee space, Purple Llama’s record nook features records from the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Fugazi, which are spun on the shop’s player for customers to sample while enjoying coffee. Petrick, when first choosing a round of selections, wanted a clean and reframed viewpoint on record buying for those with a stack under their turntable. With a focus on new pressings, their hope is for customers to exchange sifting through boxes from antique shops for a more accessible experience. “The same way we rotate coffee on bar to keep things exciting, we keep records on a constant rotation,” says Petrick. “You see new things every couple days.”
